No, the Conor's solution is not an option in this case, because the package is intended to run on a PC, initially without any internet connection. On the other hand, I'm already using an invisible packages, one at the beginning of the distribution with no payload and with only preinstall script and one at the end, also with no payload and with only postinstall script (the dummy preflight/postflight technique), so I could make it your way. I wasn't sure if there could be another way... Anyway, thanks everyone!

It's possible to do that if you put the script either inside a bundle distribution (and probably aside a flat distribution) but Conor already pointed out the problem with this solution.

What you could do instead is to create an invisible package whose sole purpose in life is to install your scripts in /tmp so that the other packages of the distribution can access them when they are installed.

Yeah, I know about that, but these extra resources can be used only by the preinstall/postintall scripts of that package and the other packages can't. I was thinking of a script, which can be used anytime by any preinstall/postinstall package of any package inside the distribution.

You can add extra resources to one package that then can be used by the pre/postinstallation scripts of this very same package (they would be accessible at ./).

Is there a way for all preinstall and postinstall scripts to use a shared code, maybe a script inside the package, which every preinstall/postinstall script could use  ? I have a code, which is present in almost all postinstall scripts in my package and I want to simplify the things.
